[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 10/25] sched/core: Avoid spurious lock dependencies

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ff51ff84d82aea5a889b85f2b9fb3aa2b8691668 ]

While seemingly harmless, __sched_fork() does hrtimer_init(), which,
when DEBUG_OBJETS, can end up doing allocations.

This then results in the following lock order:

  rq->lock
    zone->lock.rlock
      batched_entropy_u64.lock

Which in turn causes deadlocks when we do wakeups while holding that
batched_entropy lock -- as the random code does.

Solve this by moving __sched_fork() out from under rq->lock. This is
safe because nothing there relies on rq->lock, as also evident from the
other __sched_fork() callsite.
